Shh—can you hear it? 🔕
Absorb the quiet,
wring it out onto the paper.
Let it pool in the soft riverbeds
of your mind, unsticking
the branches, clattering back
into the current. Erode
into new and fantastic shapes.
I read through my journal from six months ago and this passage stuck out—it’s exactly what I’m doing this week. Looking for quiet, letting it break down the dams I’ve built for myself. They’re blocking my flow.

In other news, I took myself on a brewery date. Do you remember what it’s like to go somewhere alone??
